1/25/20 Rode south of trails Head and found great untracked snow 3 foot deep (north of trail 8) . Trails Head seemed friendly enough and food and gas was inline with other trail stops. Julie was nice and the place was sparkling clean. Was staying at the gulch in Deadwood and the trail was groomed everyday.
Keep us updated will be there on Thursday
I see trailshead is posting 4 inches new today
A good 4 inches here at Hardy last night. 5+ up towards Cement Ridge.
radar looks like big snow up there. any measurements yet?
I checked with one of our guys up at Hardy Camp. He is saying a foot +
Trailshead lodge is reporting 6+ inches of snow today so the 12 inch report I received earlier may be a little high. The Blind Park snotel site picked up 8 inches of snow and is now over 30 inches.
30" on the snotel is great, some of the best snow I have ever ridden in the hills was last March when the snotel was 40". Once you get over 25" a lot of the stumps are covered. Unfortunately there are always some landmines.
Pretty decent for January 
Another 5-7 inches last night from Trailshead North. I blew quite a bit here at Hardy last night but did not seem to have been as windy to the North. The warm weather Saturday did not hurt much. The snow got a little sticky on top but remained powder after the temps dropped. I did notice a slight crust layer further North close to Big Hill bit it is hardly noticeable. Currently snowing lightly.
headed back on Thursday. sounds like maybe more on Thursday according to noaa
We are planning to head up to Trailshead next weekend. What do you guys run for clutching. My stock Riot is setup for 0-5000' and our stock XF HC is set for 0-3000'. Just lookign for recommendations based on average terrain elevation in that area.

5-7 should cover most areas.
Thanks, I do have another quick question. Might be off topic so feel free to boot it but does anyone know of a place in the Lead/Deadwood area that rents anything more than a trail sled? Maybe a Pro RMK or something similar.
Thanks
Thanks

Spearfish canyon has rmk 600
Looks like they are forecasted for more Thursday night. Looks like they are saying anywhere from 3 to 5 inches. Bring it! We will be out Thursday night and riding the weekend.
Thanks for the updates! And keep the pics coming. Love to see what it is like out there. 
Save a little powder. Heading out over Pres. Weekend. Are they having the Gov. ride or any other big events we should watch out for??
